images from TinaCrespo.she is donating 50% of all prints purchased to red cross for haiti.

it is so amazing with our to see so much aid to haiti with all our technology today. through twitter, facebook, and texting: people are raising money worldwide for relief. as the world gathers together to support haiti, our blog community is also doing what they can. here are a few links and articles i've come across worth passing along.

a different kind of giveaway: a lovely blog, the pioneer women, is giving away (2) $500 donations to an organization of the winner's choice. every comment left she will donate .10 cents.

some of us may not be able to give due to life circumstances. if you aren't at a place to give financially, you can simply comment on this post. for every comment posted: i will donate $1 dollar on behalf of readers of oh, hello friend.

the organization i've chosen is world vision, they provide aid worldwide and i've sponsored a child through them for many years. "World Vision plans to begin assessing damage and preparing a relief response today after the major earthquake that hit Haiti Tuesday. Their team has worked in Haiti for 30 years and has some 370 staff members in the country."

you don't have to comment anything big at all.. comment a prayer, your thoughts, an inspirational story you've seen, an organization you support, whatever you'd like: simply comment to show support for haiti. comments will close a week from today, on january 22nd. please spread the word!

World Vision is such a great organization! They just held a big walk through experience about AIDs in Africa, and it was powerful. What a lovely idea! Thank you for your kind heart in this devastation.

I have a hard time even knowing how to pray for something of this magnitude. But I am praying. God alone can heal all of that hurt.this article has me teary-eyed:http://www.rachelstarrthomson.com/2010/01/my-heart-in-haiti/

We have a friend from our church who was there, and is still there .....but we didn't know he was alive and ok until yesterday......so thankful, but now praying he will be able to get out. The government did not let the first plane land today because of people swarming the planes and helicopters as they land....so we are praying he gets out tomorrow at 7 am.....

thank you, danni!! as an employee of world vision, i can tell you that things have been intense and crazy in the office - but it's people like you who have helped us raise so much money in just a few short days - and you guys are the ones who continue to encourage us and keep us going. the work is just beginning...thanks for showing people in haiti that you care.

My heart aches for all of those suffering in Haiti, as well as those who are suffering everywhere in the world. I hope that everyone in need can get the help they deserve. Thank you so much for donating in such a generous way.

I've been thinking about this for three days, about posting something on my blog, but I can't figure out what is stopping me. I think I am just pondering what to write. I give through World Vision too. I just heard a story on the radio yesterday though that World Concern has been in Haiti for 40 years and theirs is only of the few buildings still standing after the earthquake. I think has something to do with doing God's work.

you are amazing danni, and i am so blessed to have you in my life. the recent tradgedy in haiti has really put my latest thoughts into perspective, and it makes me realize things are so much more worse out there in the world.

Thank you for doing this. Out of the 30+ blogs I read, you are the only one who has mentioned it rather than saying "Have a beautiful weekend!" There is a whole country who is having the darkest weekend of their existence. You are doing something with your platform, which is to be commended.

God bless you and your kind heart!I just read about another great project, Crafthope.com, that has set up an Etsy shop where one can donate a craft to be sold with 100% of the profit to go to Doctors without Borders to aid those in Haiti. I did a little post of it on my blog. A great way to give if your finances do not allow you to give monetarily. Thank you for your wonderful blog and for always spreading beauty, love, and kindness!

what a wonderful idea, truly! it is amazing to see how the blog community-- the social media community-- has come together to support those in desperate need. thank you for being a part of it, and for letting all of us be a part of it too. my thoughts and prayers go out to Haiti.

i love that you are doing this. my husband has been to haiti many times doing missions work--and it just breaks our heart to see what the children and adults of haiti are enduring. the nation has already been so beaten and battered...it is almost unthinkable what life there must be like right now. :(

I came across your blog by chance...it is truly wonderful and inspirational! :-) I'm a Graphic Designer too. I've spent hours immersed in your site...you should write a book about your lovely life and your likes and loves! I'd spend hours immersed in that too! x

What an absolutely amazing thing you're doing. Financially I am not at a place where I can donate and this honestly brings tears to my eyes to find your blog and know that you're doing this. Seriously you are a wonderful person. Thank you.

What a great thing you're doing! I really like World Vision, my family has been supporting a young Ugandan girl for years now. Great org to pick. Thank you so much for donating to them.Have a great day.

Thank you for donating! They need all the love and support they can get. It is so *beautiful* to see how the global community is reaching out to help people in need. Reminds me we truly are all brothers and sisters. We need to take care of one another and out planet. : )

This is great! Thank you for doing this, I'm in a financial pinch right now so I can't donate, but at least I can do this. I found this on Twitter and am looking forward to reading more of your blog, it looks like something I'll enjoy. <3

My prayers go out to the families that have been separated, the people who are still alive, stuck under a building, or stuck somewhere...I pray they keep holding on! I pray God's love will be poured over the Haitian's, and that He may be glorified! Thank you!

It is wonderful to see all the outpouring of support for Haiti. A friend of mine from college is heading down there with her husband (who is Haitian) to help out through their foundation "Growing Hope for Haiti." It is truly awesome what they have been able to do so far! Their site is http://growinghopeforhaiti.org
